A discussion with Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Defense Analyst Wayne Sanders about how the US arrest of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro is unlikely to alter US defense-spending for companies like Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics led Bloomberg Intelligence's Jan. 5 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. Among the topics of discussion included the likelihood of extending enhanced Obamacare subsidies, the odds of a government shutdown and the timing for a Supreme Court decision on the legality of tariffs. We also discussed why odds of a crypto bill could decrease if Congress doesn't show much progress and how important it is for firms like Coinbase and Robinhood.
